A high-contrast serif with sharp, bracketed terminals and a steady vertical stress. The letterforms show crisp, wedge-like serifs and finely tapered strokes, with comparatively narrow joins and clear, open counters. Uppercase proportions feel dignified and slightly condensed in rhythm, while lowercase maintains a moderate x-height with pronounced ascenders/descenders that add elegance. Figures align comfortably with the text color and share the same contrast and serif treatment, producing a clean, traditional page texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional, high-contrast serif can provide a polished texture. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and formal materials such as programs and invitations where a classical voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, cultivated presence. Its crisp contrast and restrained detailing read as refined and authoritative rather than playful, suggesting tradition and editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif that balances elegance with clarity. Its high contrast and crisp serifs aim to evoke established print typography while maintaining legibility and an even rhythm in paragraphs.
Diagonal forms (like V/W/X) appear sharply cut and energetic, while rounded letters keep smooth curves without softening the crisp edge of the design. The italic is not shown; the sample demonstrates an upright roman that maintains consistent contrast and spacing across both display and text settings.
